RET System and Working Principle

RET System
Multi Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) system consists of 2 major part, electrical tilt enabled antenna and controller.

Working Principle
MIRCU obtains control information or number of motor rotation pulse throughout calibration. By adjusting the motor rotation of MIRCU, it is able to gain movement control of the phase shifter in an antenna, and thus able to control antenna electrical tilt angle. While maintaining real time communication between
MIRCU and PCU (Portable Control Unit), PCU send control command to MIRCU; MIRCU will return the control result to PCU, and PCU act as Human-Machines interface.

2 Primaries Working Principle
The MIRCU-S24 module has 2 pairs of AISG ports and supports AISG3.0 protocol, and can be controlled by 2 primaries (Base Stations) which meet AISG2.0 or AISG3.0 protocol at the same time. The AISG ports of the module share the same configuration information and have the same serial number.

There are 2 motors inside MIRCU-S24, which can drive 8-frequency antenna currently. In near future, with the increase complexity of antenna demand, the firmware will be updated to supported up to 20-frequency antenna, expected to be done by Q2 2021.

The 2 pairs of AISG ports have no difference on function but authority. Any band can be assigned by AISG port no matter AISG 1 or 2, provided the band is not yet configured by another AISG port.
The device serial numbers that can be read by ASIG2.0 base station by scanning the MIRCU-S24 module are as follows: (default access permission)

Comba MIRCU-S24 Multi internal Remote Control Unit fig
3 When the device access permission for the port is shown as “No Access”, the AISG2.0 base station will not be able to scan the device. The access permission of the port is set by MALD configuration command as defined in AISG3.0 protocol.
For example, the module has 8 devices and the device access permissions are set as below:

RET PROT1 PORT2
CB 01CB20C1234567-Y1 Read & Write No Access
CB 02CB20C1234567-Y2 Read & Write No Access
CB 03CB20C1234567-Y3 Read & Write No Access
CB 04CB20C1234567-Y4 Read & Write No Access
CB 05CB20C1234567-R1 No Access Read & Write
CB 06CB20C1234567-R2 No Access Read & Write
CB 07CB20C1234567-R3 No Access Read & Write
CB 08CB20C1234567-R4 No Access Read & Write

When the AISG2.0 base station is connected, port 1 can scan to CB01CB20C1234567-Y1, CB02CB20C1234567-Y2, CB03CB20C1234567-Y3, CB04CB20C1234567-Y4, 4 devices. Port 2 can scan to CB05CB20C1234567-R1, CB06CB20C1234567-R2, CB07CB20C1234567-R3, CB08CB20C1234567-R4, 4 devices.
The device serial numbers that can be read by the AISG3.0 base station by scanning the MIRCU-S24 module are as below:

Control cable, Lightning Protection and Grounding requirements

MIRCU control cable can connect through SBT or TMA (as shown in Figure 6 (b), (c)), normally control cable will be short and not more than 2m, lighting protection and grounding will be implemented along the RF feeder and hence it is not necessary for control cable to carry out lightning Protection and grounding again.

However, if MIRCU and control cable are connected as Figure 6 (a), whereby control cable connect to RCU directly, then it is necessary for the cable control to proceed with Lightning Protection and Ground requirement. Details as follows:

  • a) Control cables that connect to base station antenna should be within the scope of protection of the air terminals. Air terminals shall establish special lightning current deflectors, materials suitable are 4mm x 40 mm galvanized flat steel.
  • b) Control cables metal sheath should be clamp to grounding kit within 1m of antenna, 1m within the cable tray at the bottom of the tower, and 1m before entering base station shelter. Make sure grounding cable is installed property, feeder window of the shelter room should be close to the ground and properly connect to the grounding bar that leads to the ground. (See Figure 10)
